The mechanic our association would like for the administrating official on baseline throw-ins in the frontcourt to blow the whistle before handing the ball to the player. This is because they want Trail to chop the clock since Lead is obscured by players. The whistle is to alert Trail that the ball is being handed to the player and to have them raise their hand to chop the clock. I've had a couple of varsity officials tell me this and seen it used in varisty games so, when in Rome.
Sorry that I don't have a reference for NFHS, but I honestly think this is an association mechanic only.
